This workshop will explore what editors want, the pay-off & pitfalls of simultaneous submissions, as well as evaluating contests.

We will offer hands-on practice (bring your computer!) on how to research & identify target venues, create lists, track results, interpret rejections, and what works best at different stages.

For those interested in publishing a book, we’ll cover submission basics for traditional (not self-) publication: query letters, synopsis, proposal; finding an agent, or publishers who take un-agented work.

Be sure to bring your computer when you join us on Saturday, October 20 from 10 AM until 2:30 PM
